18The Intimate Relationship of Life and Law in Aristotle's PoliticsEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 25 (2): 471-484. 2021.This essay argues that the fundamental premise of Aristotle’s political philosophy is that free citizens are those who rule and are ruled in turn. The virtuous community sustains a mean between these two dimensions of political life, and the decadent regime errs by excess or deficiency from this ideal. Aristotle sees the production and exercise of law as essential to preserve the continuity of the arrangements between citizens. In the production of law, the process of ruling together is best exe…Read more

14Greek Tragedy and the Ethopoietic EventEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 22 (1): 29-38. 2017.In this essay, I attempt to explore Dennis Schmidt’s pervasive claim throughout his work of a deep affinity between aesthetic experience and ethical life. In a discussion of what Schmidt calls the intensification of life, the essay shows how for Schmidt birth and death are moments that have a peculiar capacity to reveal what he calls the idiom of the ethical. At the end of the essay, I turn to Schmidt’s discussion of Greek tragedy as an exemplary site for his unique sense of original ethics.

Nature and Man: A Commentary on Heidegger's Interpretation of Aristotle's Physics B, 1Dissertation, Duquesne University. 1981.Purpose. This dissertation aims to open up an avenue for understanding the relation between the thinking of Aristotle and that of Martin Heidegger. This entails a radical re-thinking of Aristotle's thought as the fulfillment of the Greek experience of Being. My thesis wishes to show that Heidegger's "commentary" on Aristotle's Physics, B, 1 reaches beyond this passage and is grounded in a discovery of the fundamental project that governs all of Aristotle's thought--the recovery of the meaning of…Read more

133The Parting of Being: On Creation and Sharing in Nancy’s Political OntologyResearch in Phenomenology 40 (3): 295-308. 2010.I expose facets of Nancy's notion of being singular plural. Nancy's political ontology overcomes the metaphysical dualism of theory and practice by thinking the space of the between as primary. Nancy's treatment of the event of creation and the presence of the divine rethink meta-physical notions of origin and God in a way that emphasizes the parting of unity and the plurality of the world. Nancy thinks the everyday and the existential together by affirming the importance of curiosity and wonder…Read more

102Gadamer's praise of theory: Aristotle's friend and the reciprocity between theory and practiceResearch in Phenomenology 32 (1): 141-155. 2002.Gadamer's rethinking of the interconnection of theory and practice can lead to a resolution of the debate in contemporary Aristotelian scholarship regarding the priority of theory or practice in Aristotle's Ethics. This is especially true in light of Aristotle's treatment of friendship which, as I will try to show, provides support for Gadamer's claim. In Aristotle's notion of friendship, theory and practice come together, and the activity of friendship is for Aristotle the highest expression of…Read more
